Activities and fun for kids

For parents/caregivers everywhere looking for some creative ways to keep your children engaged, learning, having fun and (most important!) busy, here are some links to resources we've found and are using with our own kids during this stressful and trying time. Some are fun and crazy, some are educational, but all will fill the need to stay busy and provide you and your kids some lasting memories.

Thank you to anyone who has sent us resources, and to those willing to share free material. We are all in this together.

About Us

Even though your electric cooperative is locally owned and committed to your local community, we are part of something bigger too. We are a network of 51 distribution cooperatives in Missouri, southern Iowa and northeastern Oklahoma, serving 935,000 member homes, farms and businesses. We receive power generation through six regional Generation and Transmission (G&T) cooperatives and one collective G&T, Associated Electric Cooperative.
